The only thing better than finding puzzle mail on your doorstep, is finding puzzle mail full of newly released puzzles! Getting newly released puzzles is sort of like journalist Clare Hollingworth getting the scoop of the century. Well, almost....CONTINUE READING

Not only did I complete beach-themed puzzles for this month’s blog, I’m also fortunate enough to be writing this as I sit overlooking beautiful Shell Key, an island in Pinellas County, FL, as an osprey grooms itself just feet from me. If that isn’t inspiration, I don’t know what is! Although it does make it hard to focus on writing instead of the view…CONTINUE READING

Hello there! When I was asked to write a post for National Dog Day (that’s a thing we do!), I wasn’t confident I was the best person to write about dogs. I have never had a dog, though I have seen them at dinner parties and, perhaps because of my petite stature, I’m the perfect height for large dogs that just met me to jump up and accidentally breathe into my mouth...CONTINUE READING

Extra Extra read all about it to learn about some of my most favorite puzzles with words. Puzzle Warehouse has a ton of these. Let me preface by saying font in and of itself is an artform. The shapes and slants of letters. I mean think about it. If you made a word bold, chances are you’d want what you’re writing to portray a strong message. Scrolly loopy font might not be the best choice to advertise a monster truck show. But hey, who am I to judge?...CONTINUE READING

If you spend any time at all on social media, you’ve no doubt noticed that there’s a “Day” to commemorate just about anything, from the serious (World Suicide Prevention Day, September 10th) to the silly (Fruitcake Toss Day, January 3rd.) Imagine my delight to discover that August 18th is National Couples Day! Besides being a day to “honor the love, commitment, and companionship that couples share” it’s the perfect opportunity to discover the huge variety of puzzles that feature couples!...CONTINUE READING

The way we listen to music has gone through revolutionary changes since music came into existence. We had 8-tracks, cassette tapes, compact discs, and today we enjoy the ease of music at our fingertips with digital downloads. (Shoutout to Napster for its profound impact on how we listen to music today!) Despite all of our various listening options, there is only one format that is still widely hailed by many music lovers as the “only way to listen to music” due to its optimum sound quality, and has withstood the test of time, like vinyl records have. Vinyl Records are SO superior that they have been bestowed their own national holiday! August 12th has been coined as National Vinyl Day, and in its honor, I dedicate this blog to vinyl records and all the joy it has brought music lovers for hundreds of years...CONTINUE READING

At several points in my life I’ve tried my hand at becoming a better cook. I’ve purchased cookbooks, asked family and friends for tips, and opened my mind to trying new tastes for my meals. Somehow, though, none of it has ever stuck with me...CONTINUE READING

I’m going to be very honest with you, July was a very difficult month and I originally had a much different blog planned. I wanted to share how puzzles have really helped me when life was just hard. In July my husband and I went to Maine to visit family. I had packed a whole suitcase of just puzzles for while I was gone. It was a three week long trip and I was so excited. However, some unexpected health diagnosis had come up with one of our family members and our time was swallowed up by everything that was going on. I went through that whole trip only doing a couple travel puzzles when I had a spare moment. What struck me though, is that now that we are back in Washington, I’ve realized how much puzzling really helps with stress and I’ve rediscovered how many of us do puzzling to unwind, destress, and zone out. Here are some things I’ve rediscovered about puzzling since my first few weeks back...CONTINUE READING
